3:09 am
russia and china especially since the former us president donald trump imposed sanctions on iran sanctions are still in place today but this visit does come at a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of direct oil sales for from iran and also this is the highest chinese official that's visited iran since the election of president joe biden in january so both politically and economically iran has been turning to russia and china and back last year in october when the united states and the president donald trump was planning to put forth a motion to the united nations to stop an arms embargo being lifted the foreign ministry here told us that their understanding was and that they were confident that russia and china would intervene with a veto but this deal does have some does have some critics inside the country even though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei now the former president mahmoud ahmadinejad said that the details of this

3:11 am
is to terrorise significantly in recent years should teach a competition has escalated and president biden is rightly u.s. allies and partners in an effort to call a policy against china so better relations between china and us is not on the horizon in fact competition is likely to deepen and for iran of course it has also been a significant politically comic pressure from the u.s. and others especially on the trump initiation so if it both are looking for partners to strengthen the hand of the boy diplomatic in strategic isolation beijing is looking for ways to increase trade with non-western countries make foreign investment as part of its built in grown initiative and importantly secured synergy resources and sea lanes of trade in energy supply so for iran trade with china investments in chinese companies and importantly the expertise in technology that china can bring to its collaboration with iran a pretty big you sentence and these incentives have been amplified because of the sanctions or all of this comes at
3:12 am
a time when china iran's relations with the united states all time low they were tense moments last week in alaska when chinese and u.s. officials exchanged a shop rebukes during their 1st meeting since joe biden came to office and iran is hardening at stance towards the u.s. and the european countries of the 2015 you care accord and once u.s. sanctions which have devastated its economy removed before it holds talks to revive the agreement this 25 year deal with beijing is the fast subsidy on time agreement for terror on and it comes ahead of polls in june to pick a successor to president rouhani. no new attempts being made to move the ship that's been blocking the suez canal and egypt for the past 5 days the dutch salvage fan that's working to free the ever given says it could be successful by mythos of next week the stand of the vessel is now free and they are hoping that high of tides and the arrival of 2 more tug boats on sunday will help their operation
